Patriots Rumor Tracker / FA Signings (Updated: Signings in OP - 4/7)

What. The. ****.

Is going on with WR market?

Has to be a Diggs like deal where it’s actually 1 yr

This is the market. Not sure why this fan base is still confused by these contracts

 

[Ross12]

Hes probably good enough to be a number 3 on a Superbowl winning team. A number 2 if your number 1 is top 3 in the league.

He's gonna get paid like a 1 though. That's the problem.

I don't think so, I think he gets paid as a good 2, he probably gets a deal similar to what Pittman got (around $20M APY), perhaps a little less, even.

 

[TommyD4207]

Doubs is a good, solid player. I don't understand the hate.

Same. Can play any receiver position, gets open, pretty productive when he's out there.

Maybe it's the goofy Guardian Cap. I know there's a non-insignificant segment of Patsfans.com that hates that **** irrationally.

He turns 26 next month.

What do you consider "paid like a 1"?

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Why are we interested in signing another 3rd-4th WR we have plenty of those

 

[Ross12]

 

[TommyD4207]

Yeah, that smells like a one/two year deal to me.

My take two no pun: we can find a Romeo Doubs in the upcoming Draft. Signing Doubs would be a waste of $$$$$$.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

He's been in the league 4 years.
He's improved.

Just reeks of JAG.

Exactly. He’s a 3/4.

We’re all stocked up on those.

 

[Since1960]

There's not much out there this year unless we bring back Bourne and Tyquan.

Oh please God NOOO!!! We can’t bring back our “One Catch Wonder”!!!! What’s next, bring back the “best hands in the NFL’ Ja’lyn “Allstate” Polk??!!

 

[UrbanCowboy]

Glad we made our splash last year. The $$$'s being thrown around for the quality of players this year is totally out of whack.

20 mil? He's gotta be worth more than what Ridley signed for a few years ago.

It takes one team.

 

[Grogan14]

if this was the plan, I wish they would have paid Diggs.

 

[Edelmania]

Prefer to use our money elsewhere but Doubs is a decent young player, if he comes cheap enough its not a bad acquisition. Seems like they want to roll with the young guys (Boutte, Williams, Chism) but want to add a little more vet depth.

 

[Rob0729]

Seriously, what offensive players did the Pats miss out on? Pierce is a good WR, but he ain't elite. Likely is more potential than production.

I am disappointed that they haven't improved the passing offense, but the best way for them to improve it is still open in a trade for AJ Brown or another receiver like Brian Thomas. And there are other TEs out there that can be just as good as Likely and have been more productive in their career. I always thought Chig Okonkwo was the most likely TE free agent the Pats will sign, not Likely.

 

[Grogan14]

if this was the plan, I wish they would have paid Diggs.

 

[Rob0729]

I bet it is a glorified one year deal with fake years.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Doubs is a good, solid player. I don't understand the hate.

Because he doesn’t move the needle and he’s also going to cost more than any other WR they currently have. I could see him being paid like a WR2 while giving WR4 production.
